Sad News: As Stella so aptly put it:
A few short weeks ago, on a Friday, Ed Wigmore was dancing with us. On the Sunday he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour. On Wed Nov. 26th, just after midnight, Ed died. Our caring thoughts go to his family, Gwenda, Bonnie and Bevan.
The service for Ed will be held Friday Nov. 28 1pm at Northwood United Church 8855 156th St Surrey.
Ed will be missed by many in the dance community especially by the Tam O’Shanter Dancers.

Forget Newton and Galileo. Here are the real laws of nature:
Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena –
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.
The Coffee Law –
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
Murphy’s Law of Lockers –
If there are only 2 people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

The Scottish Cultural Centre is a pretty unique and wonderful asset and space is available for rent to anyone or any group. The Centre does not run itself but is actually run by the United Scottish Cultural Society (USCS). Memberships in this Society are for individuals only and presently cost $10 annually. Membership Application Forms may be obtained either at the Centre or on the USCS website – www.scottishculturalcentre.com . The cost is only $10.
Any person may join USCS and Scottish Country & Ceilidh Dancers are encouraged to show their support by doing so. If any USCS member would like to be more involved, then, Darryl Carracher, the Manager at the Centre, will be pleased to give you further information. We have just finished replacing the roof which was a major expense. We have also just finishing painting and sprucing up the main hall and hope you all like what we have done.
Upgrades to the Centre are also being considered so it is particularly appropriate that dancers join USCS. No final decisions on these upgrades will be made before Members of USCS are fully informed.

At the Gleneagles Fall dance, which was the tribute to John Drewry, there were some interesting articles and pictures which Simon had put together. He has kindly allowed me to use these in the newsletters so I will post one each week and hope you enjoy reading them. This is week 2 in the series – you can view previous newsletters on the archives page on the website – www.vancouverceilidh.org
John Drewry
John Drewry
The majority of John’s compositions have been dedicated to people and friends for various occasions.
In the case of “Bratach Bana” however, it was the tune that inspired him. He first heard it on Radio Scotland while camping at Strontian beside Loch Sunart in the west and where he walked the pattern out on the beach.
“Crossing the Line”, in which the top of the set alternates ends every repetition, was composed with a group of dancers when visiting the equator, so the new top couple began in either the northern or southern hemisphere with each new repetition.
The business of the “Bees of Maggieknockater” came from John watching the coming and going of the bees in their hives in the apiary in the hamlet of the same name, when on a car journey to Speyside in the north.

The next Ceilidh Dance is THIS Friday, November 28th, 2014. I have tried an experiment and registered with Meetup and more than 20 people have now “joined” and many say they will come to the Ceilidh dance.
Why I Like Retirement !!!
Question: Why do retirees count pennies?
Answer: They are the only ones who have the time.
Question: What is the common term for someone who enjoys work and refuses to retire? Answer: NUTS!
Question: Why are retirees so slow to clean out the basement, attic or garage? Answer: They know that as soon as they do, one of their adult kids will want to store stuff there.
Michelle has very kindly made up a Facebook event page for the Ceilidh but you need to “Search for Vancouver Ceilidh on Facebook and “Like” us to receive updates on upcoming Ceilidhs and other events”. Then, if you “Like” the Vancouver Ceilidh FB page (do as described above), you too will receive updates AND be able to share those updates and events on your personal Facebook page to your friends and ask that they “Like” and “Share”, etc.
Ceilidh Dances are great ways to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries etc. Invite all your friends to come and join you at the Ceilidh. You are welcome to bring your own cake and we’ll even sing for you!!

I have managed to survive, just, with my better half (perhaps I should say three quarters) has been away for 16 days. It was a short notice trip but when ones son offers to pay the fare you jump at the opportunity. I was invited as well but had just too many commitments so had to stay behind. I have spent the day (and yesterday) getting the house ready for her return.
I am sure I will have missed something but I raked leaves to make the garden look reasonably presentable but there is a lot that needs to be done. I am just home from picking her up, although we went straight to the hospital to see our friend but we were too late as she passed away earlier this afternoon. However she has had a wonderful innings and an awful lot has happened since she was born in 1913.
It was the St. Andrew’s Ball last night with just over 100 in attendance. We had 3 dances after the grand march then it was time to Address the Haggis and on to dinner. It was a very nice meal, excellent haggis with neeps (white for a change) & tatties then a huge slab of beef and an enormous slice of chocolate cake. The Dem Team performed with exceptional flair performing 3 dance medleys the first one to the accompaniment of the pipes played by our own Sandy Marshall. Many did not finish their dessert until after the 2nd round of dances then there was another break for Scotch tasting and on to the last set of dances.
The dancers certainly seemed to have lots of fun and laughter even if they did not all quite follow the proper movements in the dances – especially Postie’s Jig and Trip to Bavaria – but they had fun and all in all I was pleased with the level of dancing.
It was a good night, the Vancouver Fiddle Orchestra played well, the meal was very enjoyable and the Company congenial +++.
This is a busy week with the dance in Fort Langley on Tuesday, White Rock’s blue and white night on Wednesday, the Ceilidh Dance on Friday and Delta’s dance on Saturday and of course there is Dem Team practise on Thursday and we are dancing at the German Christmas Market outside the QE theatre at noon and again at 2.

Come Scottish Country Dancing – it is lots of fun. Just ask anyone who came along to the Dancing in the Park. We had great audience participation so I hope you will all come along and join one of our great classes or at least come to one of the Ceilidh Dances.

The next Ceilidh Dance is THIS Friday, November 28, 2014 with live music by Calanaish. You still have time to spread the word about all the Ceilidh Dances as that is the best (and cheapest) form of advertising. It is great exercise and fun, for all ages, too.
Here is a link where you can watch a short video of a Ceilidh Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MvUwZnY9Ms and here is a link to the Facebook advert: https://www.facebook.com/events/597360563665264/597360566998597/ The format for all of the regular monthly Ceilidh Dances will be the same with the class from 7 – 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 – 11 p.m. and all dances will be walked and talked through.
They are all held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver. The price is only – $10 or $8 for students which, for what you get is a super bargain – everyone is welcome. No partner is required and you should wear FLAT, comfy shoes and loose clothing. Children are also welcome but should be prepared to dance with other people as some of the dances require a change of partner. Don’t forget to bring a few extra $$$$ to help defray the cost of the refreshments which are otherwise free.

The Branch has opened a Facebook Page at “RSCDS-Vancouver” – check it out there are some good pictures etc. www.facebook.com/rscdsvancouver. There is a link on both our website www.vancouverceilidh.org and the Branch website www.rscdsvancouver.org
This is a really good time to come along and join in one of many Scottish Country Dance (SCD) classes as you will be starting at the same time as other “beginners.” You will be made very welcome. Many classes have a policy that the first night is FREE! Plan to come along to try out a class next week. There are classes all around and on different nights so GIVE IT A GO! Go to either www.rscdsvancouver.org or www,vancouverceilidh.org for a list of class locations and times.
For those who don’t know SCD is a fabulous pastime (much better and lots more fun than golf!!) and is super exercise for body and mind. SCD is, naturally, rooted in Scotland but there are groups in almost every country so you can learn here and then dance with other groups when you vacation or travel. SCD is not to be confused with Highland Dancing which is more solo dancing. SCD is usually done with a partner in groups or sets however you do not need to come with a partner. It is more akin to Square Dancing.
It takes a year or two of classes, workshops, etc. to learn the basics then you can hone your skills in advanced classes. You start by learning the steps and formations. Dances (of which there are over 13,000) are made up of these formations so a good grounding will give you the ability to learn a new dance fairly quickly. SCD has its HQ in Scotland and is known as the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) and there is a Vancouver Branch of the RSCDS under which there are many clubs throughout the Province (there is also a Branch in Seattle).
There are a great many classes and the ones in the Vancouver area are listed below. Come along – check us out – the first night is usually free and thereafter it will average about $6 a night and that’s for a 2 hour class! You will find many friendly people who will be eager to help you and welcome you to their club. You never know you actually might like it!! Check the list of classes at either at www.vancouverceilidh.org or www.rscdsvancouver.org.
Note that the latter website has the latest updates to temporary changes to times and locations
as well there are classes all up and down Vancouver Island, a number of the Gulf Islands, the Cariboo, Okanagan, etc. etc. and there are various groups all over this great Province, Country, World and who knows where else! Check the Branch website for all these details – www.rscdsvancouver.org

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: ‘Stop! Acts 2:38!’ (i.e., “Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven.”)
The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: ‘Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell scripture to you.’
‘scripture?’ replied the burglar. ‘She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!’
